- Once SARS-CoV-2 binds to an ACE2 receptor, the virus enters the cell and begins replicating. — Diabetes, Viruses, and Immune Susceptibility
- Higher ACE2 receptor density on cells directly increases a person's susceptibility to infection. — Diabetes, Viruses, and Immune Susceptibility
- Diabetics have significantly more ACE2 receptor proteins expressed on their cells than healthy individuals. — Diabetes, Viruses, and Immune Susceptibility
